CFL Star Wideout Fantuz to work out for the Pats on Tuesday

After Cameron Wake's impact I am sure a few CFL players will get their tires kicked.

Truth. There some excellent players up here, but the game is different enough that making the jump is tough. Still, I think it warrants an eyeball this way for every NFL team at this time of year. We're all done and some good players can be had.

I watched a bunch of the highlight youtubes and this guy has a great pair of hands.

Fantuz, Gronk, Hernandez and Crumpler would make a great receiving corps with Sebastian Vollmer as an eligible receiver a la Mike Vrabel. I can see the five of them flooding Darell Revis's zone inside the 20 and mashing the little twit as Brady throws the ball straight up in the air.

Think Rondo to Shaq.

Fantuz isn't much faster than Shaq but so what?

Actually, I don't see how this guy makes any NFL team except as a tight end and that requires the ability to block and play special teams.

If his field speed is faster than his straight line speed, he could be a dangerous possession receiver.

Do we really get our money's worth for Canadians though?

Not since our dollar is almost worth more than the US

I'm pretty sure these workouts are for 2011 contracts.

He looks slow as hell

Some very nice hand catches; some awful green uniforms

He looks relatively unathletic, not just in terms of speed but the quickness in his cuts. Also it looks like he has not very long arms for a guy listed at 6'4".

Why are they awful green - because the Jets have green jerseys?? The Riders play in the city I live, so I am curious. They sell more team merchandise than the rest of the league combined.

One thing to consider is that the guy is probably really good in cold weather and considering the path ahead for the Patriots...

He looks slow as hell

I wonder if he can rush the passer?

He didn't "stretch the field" though. It was already bigger.
